RAY HARRYHAUSEN SKETCHES

“Ray Harryhausen’s art re­ally never comes up for sale. we got to hear about a small col­lec­tion of an­tiq­ui­ties at a pro­vin­cial auction house. sit­ting in the corner was a box of rolled-up pa­pers. our jaw dropped when we re­alised what we were look­ing at. this is prob­a­bly the most recog­nis­able se­quence from the film – and here it’s at the con­cep­tual stage. it’s an emo­tive thing to look at.”
